Transformative Employment For Individuals With Autism

The South Asian Autism Awareness Centre’s Vocational and Employment Skills Program encourages the development of a range of skills that help individuals with varying abilities find employment.

The program is funded by Employment and Social Development Canada, and is completely free for participants. Eligibility for the program includes being above the age of 18 and having a confirmed diagnosis of autism or related developmental disorder.

8 weeks paid job placements. The program will help secure placements in the community and also pay wages for the first eight weeks. This subsidy is to encourage employers to work with individuals with varying abilities and see how much these workers can improve an organization’s culture.
